numbers of stress
Stop the nonsense and take a breather
 Put down the cell, there's no need for fancy heaters 
 And I get that the stress level is high
 But take it down a notch! Its worth a try.
 Replace all the televisions with big speakers
 The high tech systems for a pair of regular ear buds
 Stop waiting and watching, become one of the seekers.
 Trade in the heavy breathing
 And become a simple minded reader
 Put down the cellular device
 And with a few colors of moist paint, hypnotize and randomize. 
 There's a place and a time to worry on point averages and shames
 And a moment to give in and have some grace
 Why get eaten alive by expectations and mind games?
 Does this really have to be a race?
 Your career and G.P.A
 It won't kill you to close the book and relax
 It won't jeopardize your future if you're confidently intact 
 I know it's strange coming from me
 But you see 
 As much as I adore to compete
 I at least know that no number can label me.
